Please help me identify those oldies!
« on: November 14, 2023, 02:00:50 PM »
Hello

I'd like to know what manufacturer did those minis, and if they belong to any range.

Thanks a lot.

Some at least are Ral Parthia. Try ‘lost miniatures’ and ‘dnd lead’ web sites. Good luck!

Most of these are Citadel Miniatures with some from their licensed ranges. You have all three of the the ADD14 female thief PC pack, an ADD53 Orc & an ADD71 evil fighter. I also spot an ME43 half Orc of Saruman, some chaos thugs & a C series Wizard.

Left hand, second from top, dude with the black head and spear is a Citadel ME-43 Half Orc of Saruman.

The Dwarf two along with the 2-handed axe is a Citadel C-06 Northern Dwarf Berserker.

The big fella in the middle, 3 rows down looks very like a Nick Lund Grenadier Ogre.

The Dwarf far right 3 rows down and the Norman far right bottom row both look like old Citadel sculpts, but I can't find them.

Yes, Citadel Miniatures:
D5 Imperial Dwarf
F4 Norman Men-at-arms

Interesting that the original owner has created puddle bases for the slotta ones. Looks like the tags are more or less intact though.

yes it was not always easy to find dedicated bases in our area.

Thanks alot everybody for these links and your help.

I'm browsing now and trying to put a manufacturer and series number on all of them.

The unpainted one, second row, second from the right, is a Chronicle hobgoblin with crossbow: CM9F.

The three chaos thugs are here.



[Edited to correct link for the Chronicle one - had posted "The 60 best albums you've never heard" by mistake!]

Yes Nick Lund, no it's not Grenadier, it's Chronicle (I should have known). He's an N14 Ogre known affectionately as Ear Chewer.

Top left is a Citadel black orc sculpted by Nick Lund. The figure to the far right on row 3 is a Ral Partha Templar sculpted by Tom Meier. Next to him is a Ral Partha Priest again by Tom Meier.

... ADD71 evil fighter.
I think that the fourth figure on the second row is actually another Nick Lund sculpt i.e. Chronicle Miniatures N12 Hobgoblin with crossbow (LINK)

Edit. I see now that Hobgoblin beat me to it

3rd row down, 1st and 2nd from left are 01-326 Clerics from the Ral Partha 3-Stage Player Character line.

4th row down, 1st and 2nd from left are 01-335 Anti-Heros from the same line.

Okay, the Orc with the black helmet, second from right, second from bottom. I knew it looked like an old Citadel sculpt but couldn't find it - Richard Hale from 'Stuff of Legends' solved it for me. He's a GW Advanced D&D ADD53 'Orc with Battle Axe'.

EDIT: He's also pointed out that the three females on the right in top row are GW Advanced D&D ADD14 Female Thieves.

The two figures on the left of the bottom row are from Ral Partha. I still have them somewhere... unpainted  ;)
